Increasing the gross weight increases the wing spar stresses and reduces the margin
for the landing gear. The Pulsar has a 4.4 g limit load factor, so basically
the wings are capable of lifting 4.4 x 1060 lb = 4664 lb. If you increase
the gross weight for example by 100 lb, the limit load factor would be reduced
to 4.0 g. It is actually not quite as simple as this, but this shows essentially
what happens. I would not recommend doing it.

Leaving in two days, this Wednesday, for the show and will look
forward to seeing everyone attending there. Greg's motorhome will be
easy to spot with that neat Pulsar sign up!
Tom
P.S. Look for me doing Flight Line Operations this year so if you
are flying in I just may wave you by!

Donna and I are taking the motor home into Oshkosh this year, we
are trading the thrill of flying the Pulsar to the air conditioned
comfort of our home away from home. If we do not get the torrential
rains like last year, we will be camped in the private camp ground
across the street from the ultralight area. Let's get all of our Pulsar
buddies together Thursday evening, right after the air show. We will set
up chips and hot dogs. Come on over for a good evening of Pulsar talk.
The RV is a blue and white, 38 foot motor home. We will have the
'Welcome Pulsar Builders' sign up. Call me on my cell phone for
directions. 210-639-5764 We will be arriving Wednesday and staying
through the week end. There is a picture of the motor home in the Yahoo
Pulsar group photos under 2010 Reunion.
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

| Subject: | Re-Engine a Pulsar 582 to 912UL |
Hello,
I recently purchased a Pulsar with a brand new 582 engine but I've got a colleague
who has a 912UL for sale that I would be very interested in purchasing if
I would be able to install it in my aircraft. I'd be much happier having the extra
power in the 912 v. the 582 so if it's possible, I'd love to get feedback
on the installation or any modifications to the engine mounts etc that would
be required. I'd obviously then be selling the 582.
Thanks so much!

Jay, this is not a simple task, and in many cases is not possible due to
structural limitations. First a few questions
1. What is the serial number of your airplane?
2. Do you have wood spars of glass spars?
3. Do you have fuel in the wings or nose tank?
Please let us know.
Thanks
Greg
